White privilege? I lived in South America, where I constantly operated at a disadvantage because of hispanic privilege in language and culture. So, I recognized that I was at a disadvantage and improved my language skills constantly and tried to honor the dominant culture. I achieved a certain level of success.
As long as our under-privileged compatriots continue to play the “my-language-is-better-than-yours-for-me” or the “my-culture-is-better-than-yours-for-me” games, of course there will be white privilege.
I went to graduate school in China and had to learn to bend to the dominate culture; submit to be called a “Gweilow” (Foreign Devil) by the locals and have doctors tell me that if I was Chinese I could still walk on that broken foot because Chinese were tougher.
How privileged was I?
